Key to the Highway
Big Bill Broonzy

          A          E            D                       D7            A
I got the key to the highway, I'm booked out and bound to go, I'm gonna leave
              E                    A    E
here running, ain't coming back no more

I'm going back to the border, where I'm better known, I'm gonna ride this old
highway, ain't coming back no more

Give me one more kiss, mama, just before I go, I'm gonna leave here running,
ain't coming back no more

Now, when the moon peeks over the mountain, yeah.. You know I'll be on my way
I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep until the break of day

So long and good-bye, yes, I had to say good-bye,
'Cause I'm gonna walk, walk this ol' highway, deep 'til the day I die

  KEY TO THE HIGHWAY  by Charles Segar and Willie Broonzy


I got the [A] key to the [E] highway,
[D] Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna [A] leave here running;
[E] Walking's much too [A] slow. [D] [A] [E]

I'm going [A] back to the [E] border
[D] Woman, where I'm better known.
You know you [A] haven't done nothing,
[E] Drove a good man away from [A] home. [D] [A] [E]

When the [A] blue peeks over the [E] mountains
[D] I'll be on my way.
I'm gonna [A] roam this old highway
[E] Until the break of [A] day. [D] [A] [E]

Oh give me [A] one, one more kiss [E] mama
[D] Just before I go,
'Cause when I [A] leave this time you know I,
[E] I won't be back no [A] more. [D] [A] [E]
